RESTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services
worldwide, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, MAXIMUS
Federal Services, has been selected by the U.S. Social Security
Administration (SSA) to continue providing operations support for the
Ticket to Work Program. If SSA exercises all options, the contract has a
potential length of five years and a potential value of up to
$69.4 million dollars. The contract began on September 29, 2015.

The competitively awarded Ticket Program Manager contract consolidates

employment networks, and facilitation of beneficiary ticket assignments
and employment network payments.

The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program, part of the Ticket to
Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act, is an employment program
serving individuals with disabilities. The goal of the program is to
increase opportunities and choices for Social Security disability
beneficiaries to obtain employment, vocational rehabilitation and other
support services from public and private providers, employers and other
organizations.

“MAXIMUS has supported the Ticket to Work Program for 15 years and we
are pleased to continue to provide SSA with the necessary support to
sustain program operations and help meet the needs of beneficiaries and
employers,” commented Thomas Romeo, President of MAXIMUS Federal
